The Primals of Eorzea are, in view of the beastmen tribes, are gods. Like how Ifrit is a god to the Amal'jaa and the Sahaghin revere Leviathan as their god. But there is always two sides to something. To where beastmen tribes see gods, the Eorzeans see demons. Primals are summoned by a large mass of aetheric energy and faith gathered together in one spot. Primals are summoned in a beastribes greatest time of need to protect them from their enemies. Primals however have a negative effect upon their subjects. A part of their own personality goes to the beastmen like with Ramuh and the Sylphs. Ramuh seeks only to protect, not to conquer unlike Garuda and Ifrit and Titan. So the Sylph people would not attack anybody unless provoked to. A list of Primals will be provided below:
